ADDA :MCDANIELS LONG, Mechanicsburg,' Pa. 5' Songy. K E. ' Hungry as the grave. Very small. naturally shy about reciting in class. But at times we do manage to drag from her some little remark on her father and some- thing about his oiiice. And once, in a burst of confidence, she told us that her uncle ate bread and butter with his strawberries. She's a chronic eater-strange in one so small-and her regular form of greeting has come to be a very polite Got anything to eat ? EFFIE P. MAXWELL, Oshkosh, Wis. Eff' Rugglesf' K Z, B. B. Team Q3j, Thespis. Around the cycle of the season whirls And Ithaca is filled with pretty girls Who take our rooms and make us sweep the Hoors And clean the house, and then go live outdoors. We imagine Effie might be nice, but We don't see much. of her-she spends half her time at Ithaca., and the other half getting over it. An awful good looker, with eyes that seem interest- ed even when she is yawning-mentally. Has dimples, too, that she lets us see once in a while. Said to be a shark in science, but has recently given it up for higher mathematics. 28

MARY HINKLEY, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aunt Mary, H Mrs. Hinkley. K E, Thespis, Lib. K 2. 435. Aunt Mary often wishes she were not so con- venient. but the rest of us like it. You see she always has pins, needles, medicine, bags-any thing you need-even advice-and she dispenses with them all freely to everybody, faculty in- cluded. So whatever we need, we call on her. Of course, when we are having a good time and she advises us not to be so noisy, that is not so welconieg but it makes up when questions are given in class for everybody and Aunt Mary ' answers before the rest of us have time to display our ignorance. We all love her and are glad to have her one of us. DAISY ABIGAIL I-Iown, Gardner, Mass. Deah-heaht, Diz. Q M. Spare her at least. Feel so sorry for Daisy, you know. Someway, she talks queerly, but she don't noticeit. And Wahnah tells her she says things just like other girls from Gahdna. Gets letters from paupa and mau1na fdouble quick timej and often starts to tell about them but doesnit get far. Question was once raised in Sociology, What is the diiference between Miss Howe and a Dago ?l' but no one could see any, so she has sent for a monkey-didnft have to send far-and will return to her native town by way of the back streets.

MARY WOODWARD METZGER, 'I-Elnrira, N. Y. Bones, Skinny. QF M, Thespis. Put me off at Buffalo? Usually very quiet, but has a patent yell that works with a spring which she keeps Well oiled. Oversensitive in the use of expressive language and inserts blanks for such words as door, etc., but somehow makes herself understood. She's getting thin-just see how that blue skirt laps over. Up to all sorts of stunts-lighting cork tips and such. Spoons on Mike, but acts quite rational when she's' not around. Fond of sports -hunting Harry game and Drake shooting -but hasn't caught anything as yet. If not suc- cessful this year-will go abroad. Member of Kappa Iota Sigma Sigma. RENA RocKWELL, Elmira, N. Y. K E, Biol., Pres. Biol. 131, Pres. Q1-21, Editor- in-Chief IRIS, Sibyl Board. Tully was not so eloquent as thouf' Terribly smart-and seems even smarter be- cause she neyer gets fussedf' When called on for impromptu speeches, gets up calmly and reels off joke after joke in the most careless manner. Once lately her Wit deserted her and she carried out to perfection the character thrust upon her. Heretofore quite a healthy looking girl, she has recently had some trouble with her heart, and we fear for its effect on her. You see she has a crush 'S and is overworking herself to entertain her and visit he1'. 29
